Running after death for maybe ...
Salman Rushdie, the Beauty
of Death
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/salman-rushdie-the-beauty-of-death-aef786e77542
The
latest book by this author is a long intertwined peregrination from life to
death, and the author wants us to believe death is beautiful because it is
going to the absolute unknown and leaving behind no testimony about what it is
all about. We thus have a long procession, Danse Macabre, of characters that
are mourning the future that will not come - for them - and they lock
themselves into absolute self-centered umbilical egotism leading to total
dissolution into nothingness. The author protects himself from this fate with a
wall of several million words blocking the view of the land beyond the gate of
light that casts no shadow.
